Open terminal and weak-end infeed logic can be applied. Forward and reverse ground directional overcurrent relays may be applied for greater sensitivity to high resistance ground faults Disadvantages Requires a duplex communications channel (separate frequency/signal for each direction) Will not trip for internal fault with loss of channel (but usually applied with a zone-1/2 step-distance relay) 72 Directional Comparison Blocking (DCB) and Unblocking (DCUB) DCB and DCUB schemes are specifically intended to be used with systems where communications is less secure (likely to be lost) during line fault conditions Power-line carrier – signal communications is on same conductor that you are protecting STATION C STATION D A Transmission Line B Power Line Carrier Channel Relay 73 Relay The PLC Channel Station A Bus Signal: 30 to 500 kHz 1 to 100 Watts (7 to 70 V rms) Line Trap Fault 2 1 Signal Path Switchyard Control House Protective Relay System T Relay PT inputs Coaxial Cable Coupling Capacitor Voltage Transformer (ccvt) H R Drain Coil Line Tuner DCUB – Directional Comparison Unblocking fB1 and fB2 are continuous block signals until a fault is detected and the frequency is shifted to the unblock (trip) f1 and/or f2. 75 DCUB – Directional Comparison Unblocking Advantages Very secure at it requires receipt of Unblock signal for tripping. Has logic to handle loss of channel during faults. Open terminal and weak-end infeed logic can be applied. Forward and reverse ground directional overcurrent relays may be applied for greater sensitivity to high resistance ground faults Security logic for loss of channel (carrier holes) only delays trip during loss of channel Disadvantages 76 Requires a duplex communications channel (separate trip and guard frequencies for each direction) DCB – Directional Comparison Blocking 77 DCB – Directional Comparison Blocking Advantages Very dependable – does not depend on channel for tripping for internal faults Open terminal and weak-end infeed are handled by scheme Forward and reverse ground directional overcurrent relays may be applied for greater sensitivity to high resistance ground faults Low cost communications channel – single frequency channel On/Off PLC Disadvantages Not as secure – tends to overtrip for slow channel or loss of channel Security logic for carrier holes may be required – slows tripping. Channel is normally off so periodic checking is required 78 References © ABB Group October 7, 2014 | Slide 79 1. IEEE Guide for protective Relay Applications to Transmission Lines, IEEE Std.
